Mid-Century Apple Art Glass Flytrap/Wasp Catcher

5"H x 4"D

A charming fusion of mid-century utility and decorative glass design, this hand-blown apple-form flytrap features a brilliant ruby red crackle glass body paired with a contrasting emerald green leaf-and-stem glass stopper. Crafted using traditional dip-shattering techniques that create a micro-fractured light-refracting texture, the piece rests on three clear glass feet that elevate a concealed inverted-funnel base designed to naturally lure and trap insects. Measuring 5 inches high by 4 inches in diameter, this whimsical piece operates seamlessly as a functional kitchen accent or a vibrant tabletop sculpture. It is in excellent vintage condition with a secure-fitting stopper and no chips or cracks along the feet, body, or stem.
